Please pardon my ignorance but, do your files have to be integrated into the
program to communicate with the RCX?
(Provided that Palms have com ports,) Would it be possible to create a
program that would create a virtual COM port for programs to use? (instead
of rebuilding them with your files)
What I'm getting at, is after I find a way to interface my RCX with my IPAQ
3835, is there a way to package it into a Virtual COM port?

P.S. I plan to one of the PPC users who succeedes ;-) (Although I'm a begginer)
